Ghaziabad: First batch of 25 electric buses to start operation in Sept
The first batch of 25 air conditioned, low-floor electric buses will begin operations in Ghaziabad in the last week of September and chief minister Yogi Adityanath will likely inaugurate it, said officials aware of the development.
Four routes have been finalised that will cover a total distance of 88 kilometres, plying over some of the major roads in the city.
In August 2019, the department of heavy industries approved 5,595 e-buses to 64 cities, state governments and state transport undertakings for intra- and inter-city operations in a bid to reduce carbon emission. Uttar Pradesh got 600 of these of which 50 was for Ghaziabad.
